三、任务型阅读 七选五新趋势题型保养家用电器的方法
阅读下面的材料,从方框中所给的 A—G 七个选项中选出正确选项(其中有两项是多余选项),将其序号填入第 39—43 小题。
Tips for Maintaining Home Appliances
I used to turn a blind eye to all the maintenance tips for home appliances. I didn't think they were useful. But over the years, repair bills and the cost of new machines have made me change my mind. 39 They can. Good maintenance is the key. The following are some simple ways that my husband and I have used ourselves. You can try them, too.
The fridge
Some people say a fridge can last more than ten years. To help it last longer, there are two ways. Firstly, regularly check the rubber seals(密封条) on its doors. 40 This will help the doors stay tightly closed so that cool air remains inside to keep your food fresh.
The microwave
A microwave can sometimes be overworked, so you need to clean it more regularly. You can “steam clean” it. Put lemon slices in a bowl of water and heat it up in the microwave. 41
The stove
42 Over time, these bits of food can prevent the burner from turning on. To fix this, use a toothbrush and gently brush off the spills.
The washing machine
Prevent flooding in your laundry room by regularly checking the hoses(软管). 43 It's also a good idea to replace the hoses every five years.

39.D 40.G 41.F 42.B 43.A

【分析】本题为七选五任务型阅读，需结合上下文语境、句子间的逻辑关系（如指代、顺承、因果等）匹配选项。逐个分析：39空后有“They can.”，需对应一般疑问句，询问家电能否更好工作更久，选D；40空前是“Firstly”，需对应“Secondly”的步骤，选G；41空前讲微波炉蒸汽清洁，选说明蒸汽作用的F；42空后提到食物残渣，对应B选项的做饭洒出食物；43空前说检查洗衣机软管，对应A选项的查看软管破损处。
【解析】39题：空格后“They can.”提示空格为一般疑问句，D选项“Can our appliances work better and last just a bit longer?”符合语境，故39选D。40题：前文用“Firstly”说明第一步操作，G选项以“Secondly”引出第二步，顺承上文，故40选G。41题：前文介绍微波炉蒸汽清洁的方法，F选项说明蒸汽能让清洁更简单，承接上文，故41选F。42题：后文“these bits of food”对应B选项“spill food while cooking”，故42选B。43题：前文说检查洗衣机软管，A选项“Look for breaks and weak spots”是检查软管的内容，故43选A。
